Changes from Ant 1.10.11 TO Ant 1.10.12
=======================================
Fixed bugs:
-----------
* The http condition would follow redirects even when "followRedirects" attribute
was set to "false". This has now been fixed.
Bugzilla Report 65489
* Made sure setting build.compiler to the fully qualified classname
that corresponds to extJavac or modern has the same effect as using
the shorter alias names.
Bugzilla Report 65539
* Prevent potential deadlocks in org.apache.tools.ant.IntrospectionHelper.
Bugzilla Report 65424
Other changes:
--------------
* The implementation of AntClassLoader#findResources() has been changed to optimize
it for potential performance issues, as those noted at
https://issues.jenkins.io/browse/JENKINS-22310?focusedCommentId=197405&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-197405
Github Pull Request #151
* AntClassLoader now implements the ClassLoader#findResource(String) method.
Github Pull Request #150
* Ant tries to avoid file name canonicalization when possible.
Bugzilla Report 65499
* javadoc task will now look for warning messages in the STDERR stream too
when "failonwarning" is set to true to account for changes in JDK 17+
* The tar task now preserves symlinks of nested tarfilesets.
Github Pull Request #142
Changes from Ant 1.10.10 TO Ant 1.10.11
=======================================
Fixed bugs:
-----------
* a race condition could lead to NullPointerExceptions when running
tasks in parallel.
Bugzilla Report 65316
* fixed potential OutOfMemory errors when reading broken archives
using the tar or zip formats or formats derived from zip.
Other changes:
--------------
* org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.junitlauncher.confined.JUnitLauncherTask now
has a new protected createExecuteWatchdog() method for allowing it to be overriden.
Github Pull Request #147
* Upgraded AntUnit to 1.4.1.
Changes from Ant 1.10.9 TO Ant 1.10.10
======================================
Fixed bugs:
-----------
* SCP (with sftp=true) task would fail if fetching file located in root directory
Bugzilla Report 64742
* javac task would fail if the arguments file it (internally) created didn't quote
the # character. This has now been fixed.
Bugzilla Reports 64912, 64790
* made sure LegacyXmlResultFormatter encodes characters illegal in
XML the same way JUnit5's built-in formatter would.
Bugzilla Report 65030
* LegacyXmlResultFormatter no longer double-encodes <>& in system-err
and system-out
Bugzilla Report 63436
* Fixes a bug in junitlauncher task's legacy-xml formatter, where the testcase
representing a @Parameterized JUnit4 test wasn't being reported in the XML.
Bugzilla Report 64952
* Fixes a bug where the ant-testutil-sources.jar that gets published to Maven
central repository didn't contain any source files.
Bugzilla Report 65110
* The <http> condition didn't follow redirects from http to https.
Bugzilla Report 65105
* ZipOutputStream now overrides write(int) in order to make sure
single byte writes get the same treatment as array writes.
Github Pull Request #145
* Fixes a potential deadlock in junitlauncher task when using legacy-xml
reporter.
Bugzilla Report 64733
Other changes:
--------------
* javaversion condition now has a new "atmost" attribute. See the javaversion
manual for more details
* The "listener" nested element of the "junitlauncher" task now has a new
"useLegacyReportingName" attribute which can be used to control the test
identifiers names that get reported by the listener. See the junitlauncher
manual for more details.
Note that this change also introduces a new "setUseLegacyReportingName" method
on the org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.junitlauncher.TestResultFormatter
interface. This will break backward compatibility with any of your custom
result formatters which implemented this interface and such implementations
are now expected to implement this new method.
* a new attribute preserveduplicates allows <resourcelist> to return
the same resource multiple times when set to true.
Bugzilla Report 64854
* a new attribute filterbeforeconcat in <concat> can be used to
decide whether the filterchain should be applied to the
concatenated content (the default) or each nested resource
individually before concatenating them.
Bugzilla Report 64855
* the ssh tasks now share a new nested element additionalConfig that
can be used to set config values for the jsch Session used by the
task.
Bugzilla Report 65089
* added new discardOutput and discardError properties to redirector
and the exec, apply and java tasks which can be used to completely
discard any (error) output. This is a platform independent
alternative to directiong output to any kind of null device.
* junitlauncher now prints a more useful and instantaneous summary of
tests being run, closely matching the junit task's summary.
Bugzilla Report 64836
Changes from Ant 1.10.8 TO Ant 1.10.9
=====================================
Fixed bugs:
-----------
* the ftp task could throw a NullPointerException if an error occured
Bugzilla Report 64438
* propertyset now also sees in-scope local properties
Bugzilla Report 50179
* replaced our version of ReaderInputStream with the battle-tested
version of Apache Commons IO as our version had problems with
surrogate pairs (and likely other edge cases as well).
Bugzilla Report 40455
* <fixcrlf> will no longer remove the temporary file it just created
before writing to it.
* <sshexec> and <scp> didn't deal with wildcard hostnames in ssh
config files properly.
Bugzilla Report 64530
Other changes:
--------------
* Ant will no longer log a warning if it doesn't find tools.jar
Bugzilla Report 63577
* the <jar> task accepts now a nested <indexjarsmapper> element
that can be used to perform custom filename transformations
for the <indexjars> archives.
Github Pull Request #134
* added a new PropertyEnumerator interface that extensions can
provide if they are managing properties unknown to the Ant project.
* added some special code to support GraalVM JavaScript as
javax.script scripting engine for JavaScript. In particular we
relax some security settings of GraalVM so that scripts can access
Ant objects.
Also Ant enables Nashorn compatibility mode by default, you can
disable that by setting the magic Ant property
ant.disable.graal.nashorn.compat to true.
See the script task manual for additional details.
* If the magic property ant.tmpdir hasn't been set and Ant can
control the permissions of directories it creates it will create an
owner-owned temporary directory unaccessible to others as default
tempdir as soon as a temporary file is created for the first time,
Changes from Ant 1.10.7 TO Ant 1.10.8
=====================================
Fixed bugs:
-----------
* "legacy-xml" formatter of junitlauncher task wasn't writing out
the stacktrace for failures. This is now fixed.
Bugzilla Report 63827
* sshexec failed to write output to a file if the file didn't exist
* Fixes a regression in javac task involving command line argument
files.
Bugzilla Report 63874
* sshexec, sshsession and scp now support a new sshConfig parameter.
It specified the SSH configuration file (typically ${user.home}/.ssh/config)
defining the username and keyfile to be used per host.
* "legacy-xml" formatter of junitlauncher task wasn't writing out
exceptions that happen in @BeforeAll method of a test. This is now fixed.
Bugzilla Report 63850
* Building Ant from source could result in the javadocs target failing if the
optional dependencies were missing. This has now been fixed.
Bugzilla Report 63438
* Fixes a potential ConcurrentModificationException in XMLLogger.
Bugzilla Report 63921
* Fixes a bug in junitlauncher task in forked mode, where if a listener element
was used as a sibling element for either the test or testclasses element,
then the forked mode launch would fail.
Bugzilla Report 63958
* Fixes an issue in AntStructure where an incorrect DTD was being generated.

Changes from Ant 1.10.6 TO Ant 1.10.7
=====================================
Fixed bugs:
-----------
* FTP still tries checking or entering directories after a timeout
Bugzilla Report 63454
* junitlauncher - does not detect failure in @BeforeAll
Bugzilla Report 63479
* Error using ant-1.10.6 with jdk8
Bugzilla Report 63457
* FTP task no longer duplicates a check for a file being a symlink.
Bugzilla Report 63259
* junitlauncher task, when used in fork mode with "<testclasses>",
used to create the wrong number of listeners per test class. This
has now been fixed.
Bugzilla Report 63446
* The "legacy-xml" junitlauncher task's listener would not include
@ParameterizedTest testcases in its XML report file. This has now
been fixed.
Bugzilla Report 63680
Other changes:
--------------
* FTP task timeout improvements.
Bugzilla Reports 63252 and 47414
* junitlauncher task now supports selecting test classes for execution,
based on the JUnit 5 tags, through the new "includeTags" and
"excludeTags" attributes.
* prefer https over http when building ant itself, and in the ant
documentation and sources
* changed the references and Maven coordinates of JavaMail dependency
to Jakarta Mail and thus javax.mail to jakarta.mail - and upgraded
the dependency to 1.6.3.
Changes from Ant 1.10.5 TO Ant 1.10.6
=====================================
Changes that could break older environments:
-------------------------------------------
* image task no longer works on Java 9+ because internal classes
supporting Java Advanced Imaging are removed; imageio task (based on
ImageIO and AWT) is provided as a replacement.
* junitlauncher task has changed the class names and package names of
the task as well as some of the supporting classes of that task. If
any code depended on these class or package names, they will have to
be updated to reference these newly named classes. This however,
doesn't impact build scripts if their reference to junitlauncher task
was merely through the use of the <junitlauncher> element.
* ClearCase#runS has been augmented by a two arg-version and the
one-arg version will no longer be called. This may affect
subclasses that have overridden runS.
Fixed bugs:
-----------
* fetch.xml must retrieve runtime rather than compile dependencies for
mail task.
Bugzilla Report 62621
* Fixes an issue in junitreport task, which used to throw a
java.net.MalformedURLException when saxon was used on Windows OS.
Bugzilla Report 62594
* augment task now throws a BuildException (as noted in its manual)
instead of a IllegalStateException in the absence of the "id" attribute.
Bugzilla Report 62655
* org.apache.tools.zip.ZipOutputStream would sometimes potentially use
an incorrect compression level for a zip entry. This is now fixed.
Bugzilla Report 62686
* sync task, in some cases on case insensitive file systems, would consider
a file in a destination directory to be orphaned and would delete it.
This task has now been fixed to infer the case sensitivity of the filesystem
of the destination directory.
Bugzilla Report 62890
* Fixes a potential java.util.ConcurrentModificationException in
org.apache.tools.ant.Project#getCopyOfReferences.
Github Pull Request #81
* cccheckout would ignore an error of the "ls checkout" command even
if failOnError was set to false.
Bugzilla Report 63071
* The isreachable condition could in some cases return true even if the
actual address could potentially be unreachable. This is now fixed
and the resolved address is actually checked for reachability.
* Fixes an issue where scp transfer completion tracking wasn't being
triggered for 100% completion.
Github Pull Request #91
Other changes:
--------------
* generatekey task now supports SubjectAlternativeName during key
generation.
* the <modified> selector has a new built-in algorithm 'lastmodified'
which computes a value based upon the lastmodified time of the file.
* junitlauncher task now supports running tests in a forked JVM. More
details available in the junitlauncher task manual.
* signjar and verifyjar now support the -providerName, -providerClass
and -providerArg command line options of keytool via new attributes.
Bugzilla Report 65234
* signjar and verifyjar now supported nested <arg> elements for
command line arguments that are not supported explicitly by the
tasks via attributes.
* added several attributes to <javadoc> that support modules.
Bugzilla Report 62424
* properties used or set by BuildFileTask/BuildFileRule are documented
in MagicTestNames. A new magic property, ant.test.basedir.ignore, is
introduced for cases where Ant projects set up for test purposes
must ignore basedir set externally by test harness.
* a new CharSet type is provided for encoding or charset attributes in
tasks that must deal with different character encodings in files,
file names and other string resources.
* org.apache.tools.ant.AntClassLoader is now multi-release jar aware.
Starting Java 9, jar files can be packaged as multi-release jars,
AntClassLoader now recognizes such multi-release jar files while
loading resources at runtime in Java 9+ runtime environments.
Bugzilla Report 62952
* Added jmod and link tasks, to support jmod and jlink tools of JDK 9+.
Github Pull Request #80
* Jsch library dependency has now been upgraded to 0.1.55. Jsch is
the library behind the sshexec and scp Ant tasks.
Github Pull Request #84
* The "http" condition, now has a "readTimeout" attribute which can be
used to control the amount of time to wait for the read to complete.
Bugzilla Report 63193
* ftp task manual has been updated to mention that the remote listing of
files honours the followsymlinks attribute.
Bugzilla Report 63226
Changes from Ant 1.10.4 TO Ant 1.10.5
=====================================
Fixed bugs:
-----------
* Fixes a regression in the "get" task where redirects
from a HTTP resource to a HTTPS resource started throwing
an exception.
Bugzilla Report 62499
* the new allowFilesToEscapeDest didn't work when set to false and
archive entries contained relative paths with so many ".."
segnments that the resulting path would go beyond the file system
root.
Bugzilla Report 62502
Other changes:
--------------
* Java task now accepts a "sourcefile" attribute to allow single file
source program execution, a feature that is introduced in Java 11.
Changes from Ant 1.10.3 TO Ant 1.10.4
=====================================
Changes that could break older environments:
-------------------------------------------
* <unzip>, <unjar> and <untar> will no longer extract entries whose
names would make the created files be placed outside of the
destination directory anymore by default. A new attribute
allowFilesToEscapeDest can be used to override the behavior.
Another special case is when stripAbsolutePathSpec is false (which
no longer is the default) and the entry's name starts with a
(back)slash and allowFilesToEscapeDest hasn't been specified
explicitly, in this case the file may be created outside of the
dest directory as well.
In addition stripAbsolutePathSpec is now true by default.
Based on a recommendation by the Snyk Security Research Team.
Fixed bugs:
-----------
* Delay the class initialization of the test classes until they are
passed to JUnit. This way we can avoid that failing static initializers
from non-test classes are reported as error when the 'skipNonTests' option
is 'true'.
Bugzilla Report 60062
* The junit task when used with includeantruntime="no" was incorrectly
printing a warning about multiple versions of ant detected in path
* <cab> died with a NullPointerException since Ant 1.10.2.
Bugzilla Report 62335
* The <depend> task would fail with
"java.lang.ClassFormatError: Invalid Constant Pool entry Type 19" while
parsing a module-info.class. The task is compatible with
Java bytecode version 53 now.
Bug reported by Simon IJskes https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-781
* Default and SecureInputHandler will now raise an error when then
end of the input stream (usually System.in or System.console) are
reached before a valid input has been read.
* junitreport does not list testsuites that fail to start any tests
because of an exception inside the all-tests and alltests-errors frames.
Bugzilla Report 62443
Other changes:
--------------
* AntAssert is deprecated, assertThat from JUnit 4.4+, Hamcrest matchers and/or
ExpectedException rule provide equivalent functionality
* PumpStreamHandler now explicitly verifies the streams for output
and error are not null and will throw an exception if they
are. This way creating a PumpStreamHandler will fail early as
opposed to some obscure errors later when closing streams or
finishing threads might fail.
Bugzilla Report 62148
* <property> has a new attribute runtime which can be used to set
properties with values taken as snapshots from the
availableProcessors, freeMemory, maxMemory and totalMemory methods
of the Java Runtime class.
* linecontains filter now has a new "matchAny" attribute which when
set to "true" allows any (instead of all) of the user-specified
strings to be present in the line.
Bugzilla Report 62313
* <resourcelist> has a new basedir attribute that can be used to
resolve relative names and provides a root for the FileResources
generated.
Bugzilla Report 62379
* The <includesfile> and <excludesfile> nested elements of
<patternset> and <fileset> now support an encoding attribute that
can be used to specify the file's encoding.
Bugzilla Report 62379
* New file selectors, posixGroup and posixPermissions, are available.
The new selectors and related ownedBy selector have "followSymlinks"
attribute that defaults to "true" for consistency.
Bugzilla Report 22370
* The junitlauncher task now has a "printSummary" attribute which when
set to "true" will print the test execution summary to System.out.
Changes from Ant 1.10.2 TO Ant 1.10.3
=====================================
Changes that could break older environments:
-------------------------------------------
* Previous versions of Ant's copy task would throw a BuildException
if the "name" of the resource to copy was null. Starting
this version, the copy task instead silently skips such resources
and no longer throws an exception.
ant-dev list https://www.mail-archive.com/dev@ant.apache.org/msg46634.html
* Reverted the signature change of various clone method
implementation in Ant's data-types introduced with 1.10.2 as they
broke subclasses of said data-types which tried to override clone.
Fixed bugs:
-----------
* Fixed NullPointerException in ChainedMapper
Bugzilla Report 62086
* Fixed NullPointerException when a mappedresource is used in pathconvert
Bugzilla Report 62076
* Fixed an issue where a string, when used as a resource collection, within
tokens, would be replaced by property values
Bugzilla Report 62147
* Added a workaround for a bug in the jarsigner tool to <verifyjar>
which requires the -storepass command line argument when verifying
signatures using -strict together with a PKCS12 keystore. Unlike
when signing the jar it will not prompt for the keystore's password
and read it from standard input.
This means Ant will now pass the keystore's password on the command
line when using <verifyjar>, which poses a security risk you should
be aware of.
Bugzilla Report 62194
Other changes:
--------------
* Allow Saxon to be used for junitreport XSL transformation
Github Pull Request #57
* when running on Java 11+ rmic will fail early if iiop or idl are
requested. Java 11 removes support for CORBA and the switches have
been removed from the rmic tool.
* A new junitlauncher task which support JUnit 5 test framework.
Bugzilla Report 61796
Changes from Ant 1.10.1 TO Ant 1.10.2
=====================================
Changes that could break older environments:
-------------------------------------------
* updated the dependency of BCEL to 6.2.
Bugzilla Report 61196
* delete task previously would silently accept wildcard (*)
value for the "file" attribute. That's no longer the case
and an exception could get thrown by the underlying filesystem
for such use. Usage like:
<delete file="/foo/bar/*.something"/>
should instead be changed to use resource collections like:
<delete>
<fileset dir="/foo/bar/" includes="*.something"/>
</delete>
* Commons Net 3.6 is binary-code, but not source compatible;
see change list of Commons Net 3.0 for details
* The Log4jListener is marked as deprecated as the required log4j library
(in version 1.x) is not maintained any more.
* Image task is marked as deprecated as the required JAI library is not
maintained any more and internal APIs that JAI depended on are no longer
available in Java 9.
Fixed bugs:
-----------
* <genkey>'s <dname> child now skips <param>s that lack a key or
value.
Bugzilla Report 60767
* bootstrapping Ant on Windows failed
Bugzilla Report 61027
* Fixed the issue where the SCP based tasks would try to change
the permissions on the parent directory of a transferred file,
instead of changing it on the transferred file itself.
Bugzilla Reports 59648 and 43271
* Fixed the issue where the source file being copied could end
up being corrupted if the target of the copy happened to be
the same source file (symlinked back to itself).
Bugzilla Report 60644
* Fixed the issue where symlink creation with "overwrite=false",
on existing symlink whose target was a directory, would end
up creating a new symlink under the target directory.
Bugzilla Report 58683
* Improvement to the Zip task for reduced memory usage in certain
cases. Thanks to Glen Lewis for reporting the issue and
suggesting the fix.
Bugzilla Report 19516
* Fixed an issue where the content redirected from output/error
streams of a process, could end up being truncated.
Bugzilla Report 58833, 58451
* <fileset>/<zipfileset>/<tarfileset> will now throw an exception
with a more useful error message when setFile is called twice on
the same instance.
Bugzilla Report 62071
Other changes:
--------------
* Added forceCsvQuoteChar option to <csv> task. When enabled the
values always get quoted.
Github Pull Request #32
* Added <encoding> attributes to various script related tasks and a
compiled attribute to scriptdef.
Github Pull Request #30

preserveLastModified attribute is set to true for that task
Bugzilla Report 58589
* zip and the related tasks can now set the modification time of all
entries to a fixed timestamp.
Github Pull Request #36
* Jsch library dependency has now been upgraded to 0.1.54. Jsch is
the library behind the sshexec and scp Ant tasks.
Bugzilla Report 61718
* Added a new <javaversion> condition.
* added "javac10+" as new supported value for javac's compiler attribute.
* javah has been removed from Java 10. The task will now throw an
exception if you try to use it while running Java 10 or newer.
* Updated Maven Ant Tasks, Jakarta Regexp and JUnit 4 to the latest
stable version (2.1.3, 1.4, and 4.12 respectively); updated
JRuby to the latest Java 5 compatible version (1.6.8); added
resolve target for AntUnit to facilitate updates.
Github Pull Request #50
* Updated Java Mail API, Jython, Rhino and Commons Net to the latest
stable version (1.6.0, 2.7.0, 1.7.7.2 and 3.6, respectively).
Github Pull Request #53
Changes from Ant 1.10.0 TO Ant 1.10.1
=====================================
Fixed bugs:
-----------
* Ant 1.10.0 made Path#systemClasspath final which broke the Eclipse
integration.
Bugzilla Report 60582
* the wrapper script still didn't work on Solaris 10, but worked on
Solaris 11.
The "fixed" script should work in most cases but will not preserve
newlines present in command line arguments.
Bugzilla Report 60562
Other changes:
--------------
* new tasks <xz> and <unxz> and resource <xzresource> for XZ
compression. Also the compression attribute of <tar>/<untar> now
accepts "xz" as valid value.
The tasks and type are contained in the new ant-xz.jar and require
the library XZ for Java to be on the CLASSPATH.
Bugzilla Report 60350
Changes from Ant 1.9.7 TO Ant 1.10.0
====================================
Changes that could break older environments:
-------------------------------------------
* Ant 1.10.x requires Java8 or newer at compile or build time.
The 1.9.x series wil stay compatible with Java5.
* The <apt> task has been removed since apt itself has been removed
with Java8.
* <fileset>/<zipfileset>/<tarfileset> exhibited undefined
behavior when both the dir and file attribute have been used on the
same instance. This will now cause the build to fail.
Bugzilla Report 59402
* <native2ascii> will default to the builtin implementation on Java8
as well (sun isn't available for Java9+ anyway).
* The ant.java.version property will now hold the value "9" rather
than "1.9" if running on Java 9.
* <rmic> will no longer allow the -Xnew option (or xmic compiler) to
be used when running on Java 9 since this option has been removed.
Bugzilla Report 59906
* <javah> will default to the "forking" implementation on Java8
as well.
Fixed bugs:
-----------
* setDynamicAttribute on MacroInstance now lower-cases the attribute
name in order to allow users of the API to use the attributes names
they have specified.
Bugzilla Report 59339
* <get>'s quiet attribute was broken, it didn't suppress any messages.
Bugzilla Report 59379
* <zip>'s check whether an archive is already up-to-date failed on
NTFS filesystems and re-created archives more often than necessary.
Bugzilla Report 59562
* AntClassLoader didn't delegate to the parent loader for classes in
the "jdk" package or one of its subpackages. This hierarchy has
been introduced with Java 7.
Bugzilla Report 59556
* The ant wrapper script used on Unix-like operating systems only
worked on OSes where sed is GNU sed.
Bugzilla Report 59898
* <touch>'s default pattern as well as the default patterns used by
the <date> (resource) selectors depended on the JDK being used - or
rather the locale provider being used and the default locale
provider changed with Java 9.
They are now fixed and the documentation has been updated to
reflect the real patterns used rather than a non-formal description
of the expected format.
Bugzilla Report 59909
* Clarified the documentation of <get>'s retries attribute.
Bugzilla Report 59930
* The ant wrapper script failed if backticks were passed on the
command line.
Bugzilla Report 60150, 59445
* The report generated by <junitreport> could contain duplicate
characters in stack traces.
Bugzilla Report 58661
Other changes:
--------------
* New file selectors <executable>, <symlink> and <ownedBy>.
* New task <setpermissions> that provides the ability to set POSIX
compatible permssions via NIO's PosixFilePermission
* <junit> now initializes the cause of the AssertionFailedError when
converting from AssertionError.
Bugzilla Report 58982
* <scp> now supports compression via the optional compressed attribute.
Bugzilla Report 47552
* <junit> now supports JDK9 modules
Github Pull Request #18
* a new implementation "builtin" has been added to <native2ascii> and
is the default when running on JDK9+ since the tool itself has been
removed from the JDK.
Bugzilla Report 59855
* added a new <native2asciifilter> filter that can perform non-ASCII
to Unicode-escape conversions.
* <rmic> defaults to the "forking" compiler on JDK 9+ as the
implementation class of rmic is not exported by its containing
module and thus not accessible to Ant without applying -XaddExports
magic.
Bugzilla Report 59860
* a new implementation "forking" has been added to <javah> and is
used as default when running on JDK9.
* support for javac's -h switch has been added with the
nativeheaderdir attribute.
Bugzilla Report 59905
* it is now possible to set features of the TraX factory used by <xslt>
and <junitreport>.
* it is now possible to use references to Ant types and classloaders
built around Ant <path>s as values for TraX factory attributes.
* AntClassLoader and its subclasses register themselves as parallel
capable.
* <junitreport> now enables the feature
http://www.oracle.com/xml/jaxp/properties/enableExtensionFunctions
when run on Java 9 so the redirect extension function can be used
if when a SecurityManager is active.
Bugzilla Report 60060
* support for javac's --release switch introduced with Java9 has been
added.
Bugzilla Report 60172
Changes from Ant 1.9.6 TO Ant 1.9.7
===================================
Changes that could break older environments:
-------------------------------------------
* <exec> and <apply> used to ignore the dir attribute if it was the
same as the current working directory. They now no longer do,
which changes the behavior for vmlauncher="false" which would have
used the project's basedir rather than the current working
directory in that case.
Bugzilla Report 58555
Fixed bugs:
-----------
* ZipOutputStream could cause an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException when
adding entries with comments. This never happens when using Ant as
a build tool but may affect users using Ant's zip package as a
library.
* <gunzip> and <bunzip2> didn't work for non-filesystem resources.
* <jar> ignored the zip64Mode attribute when creating manifest-only
jars. This resulted in jar files that couldn't be read by Java5.
Bugzilla Report 58428
* <untar> will now detect GNU tar longname/link records even if they
don't use the names used by GNU tar itself. star is known to
create archives of that kind.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-324
* <script> could fail to find javax.script on JDK9 with Jigsaw.
Bugzilla Report 58271
* <import> sometimes failed to normalize file names which could lead
to files getting imported twice which in turn could lead to targets
getting executed twice.
Bugzilla Report 58886
* TarInputStream now properly extraxt directory entries with a
non-zero size.
* <union> would drop file resources pointing to the same file but
using different names.
Bugzilla Report 57965
* <replace>'s result was undefined when using the replacefilterfile
attribute and some keys inside the properties files have been
substrings of other keys. Keys are now sorted by descending size.
Bugzilla Report 58997
* Ant fails to run when arguments contain double-quote character.
Bugzilla Report 58898
* Ant fails to run if ANT_HOME contains a double-quote character.
Bugzilla Report 58874
* Definer's way to parse URLs from classloader breaks with
recent Java 9 builds (b108).
Bugzilla Report 59130
* <ant> and <antcall> now preserve the ext status set by an <exit>

* <scp> now supports (filesystem-only) resource collections in
addition to filesets.
Bugzilla Report 50769
* The <http> condition has a new optional attribute followRedirects.
Bugzilla Report 58840
* <java> now supports Java9 modules.

Bugzilla Report 59162
Changes from Ant 1.9.5 TO Ant 1.9.6
===================================
Changes that could break older environments:
-------------------------------------------
Fixed bugs:
-----------
* ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException when ZIP extra fields are read and
the entry contains an UnparseableExtraField.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-317
Other changes:
--------------
* Hidden <javaconstant> resource is published now. It reads the
value of a specified java constant.
Changes from Ant 1.9.4 TO Ant 1.9.5
===================================
Changes that could break older environments:
-------------------------------------------
* The ReplaceTokens filter can now use token-separators longer than
one character. This means it can be used to replace mustache-style
{{patterns}} and similar templates. This is going to break code
that invokes the setters on ReplaceTokens via the Java API as their
parameters have been changed from char to String. It may also
break build files that specified multi character tokens and relied
on Ant silently ignoring all but the first character.
Bugzilla Report 56584
* The changes that added <get>'s support for gzip encoding
automatically uncompressed content that would not have been touched
before - like when downloading .tar.gz files. A new flag has been
added to control the behavior and its default will make <get> work
as it did in 1.9.3. I.e. if you want it to work like 1.9.4
you have to explicitly set tryGzipEncoding to true.
